I was born in Zimbabwe on 03/06/88. My family, consisting of parents, older brother and sister, migrated to South Africa when I was six months old. We moved back to Zimbabwe six years later, to help my grandparents on their farm - a career change for my father.
After a measly eighteen months we upped sticks and went farming on our own. This led us to Kwekwe, in the heart of Zimbabwe, to farm tobacco! Borrowdale farm which is part of the "Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy" is where we settled . This was the most incredible experience, living with such an abundance of wild life ........... of which we became a part of during the school holidays! Due to the "land redistribution policy" we had no option but to move on.
10th November, 2001 saw us arrive in New Zealand with our former lives packed into a suitcase each, ready to start our new lives. Our first three years were spent on the South Island and I nearly froze!!!!!!! A great employment opportunity for my father had us move up to the North Island. I now live on a farm just outside Matamata aka "Hobbiton" (defrosting).
Yep that should sum it up ha!

Sorry about the pricking and stinging!!! I love your compo here. Not sure if it's my screen or eyes - but looks like you lost abit of sharpness. Not normal for you - that's why I think it might be me...

You mean it's Spring somewhere:0) I like this single Daffodil shot. I like the way the dark brings out the yellow. And about that nettle, I remember well the first time I was introduced to it...not fun!!lol Take care.

WOW SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BRIGHT and cheerful capture !! lovely daffy !!... big hugs to you!!...wonderful to find two butterflys in one day seems i am always on a mission for them lately lol...

Ok Kai, I'll tell you something you should always remember, the stinging nettle has an antidote, and it's usually very close to the nettle itself, and that is the fern, take some of the newest growth of the fern and rub it betwenn your fingers to try to get some juice, them apply to where the nettles have stung you, this neutralizes the sting !!!!!! It really works!!! Mother nature is wonderful like that and usually has a cure for everthing, pretty close by!!!! Gorgeous daffy!!!! Nice to see you again too!!!!
